"Subway create a free internet computer network in  22 stations"
 
Today, May  28th, the Santiago's subway launched an internet computer network for roughly two million people  per day. It consists in 22 stations equiped with wi fi connection of internet. This service is completely free. The reason of this service is to increase the quality of the trip experience for the subways passengers. 

The project began lastest December and finished today with the inauguration.

The users can be connected for half an hour, after that, they have to wait for five minutes to be able to reconect to the service again. 20 users can be connected at the same time.

The new stations that have free wi fi are distributed in all lines of Santiago's Subway. In line 1 the stations are: U. de Chile, Manquehue, U. De Santiago y Tobalaba.  While the line 2’s stations are: La Cisterna, San Miguel y Vespucio Norte. In line 4 they are: Quilín, Simón Bolívar, Pza. Egaña, Los Orientales, Las Mercedes, Santa Rosa y San Ramón. Finally, the stations with free wi fi of the line 5 are: Baquedano, Bellavista La Florida, San Pablo, Quinta Normal, Carlos Valdovinos, Santiago Bueras, Pudahuel y Gruta de Lourdes.

To sum up, a personal commentary, the free internet computer network are a good piece of news for subway users. It's very useful. I wish that it doesn't finish here, I wish that all subway stations have this service, and that this service is for more than 20 people at same time.
